Checking in: Week 2 of NaMuWriMo

So far, so good, my friends. I am 16 for 16! So far this month I have written music for at least 30 minutes per day, which is the goal I set for myself. Cool!

At this stage, I have written almost three complete songs. At the rate I am going, I may actually be able to finish the entire song cycle I am writing (settings of five poems by E. E. Cummings for soprano, clarinet, and piano) before the month is over! Awesome!

I have been keeping track of my daily progress. Here is my log for the past week:


Date Minutes Measures
10-Nov 32 7
11-Nov 30 7
12-Nov 30 8
13-Nov 31 5
14-Nov 32 4
15-Nov 32 12
16-Nov 41 9
TOTAL: 228 52

So it seems I have increased my productivity since I last posted. I am averaging fewer than five minutes for each measure I write, as opposed to my last post when I averaged closer to six minutes per measure. (Granted the song I was writing then had more intricate counterpoint than the songs I wrote this week, but still . . . whatever!)

Thanks for reading my post. I appreciate your support!
